Fun taking picture here, but it doesn't mean and look much if you don't know the history of it. And yes, kiss the butt!
Just a little Historic place to visit and was fun.
If you ever find yourself walking down Placa Sant Felix and happen to pass L'hostal de la Lleona, take a moment to look for stone column with a sculpture of a decorative lion, that looks like it’s climbing up. Kiss that lion's behind cause it might just save your life. No … just kidding. This is another one of those rub/kiss a sculpture thing that supposedly brings good luck. Go ahead if you believe in that kind of thing. There's also a plaque near the lion describing I think the origin of this superstition (in Spanish).
Nice legend that States that if you kiss the lioness' bottom, you will return to Girona. This is a replica. The original is in the art museum.
